Former Secretary of State Colin Powell today called on Congress to review "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." An architect of the original law, Powell's opinion is widely regarded as a barometer of the law's future.


When asked by CNN reporter Fareed Zakaria about his association to the law banning openly gay, lesbian and bisexual service members from the armed forces, Powell responded "we defiantly should reevaluate it...it's been fifteen years and attitudes have changed." Powell went on to note, "I'm quite sure that's what President-Elect Obama would want to do."
